Few Essential Oil Diffusion Methods

Essential
oils have a mesmerizing and enchanting fragrance. Most of the people use them
as perfumes and massaging agents but not many folks know that they are
excellent room diffusers as well. No matter how expensive a room freshener you
purchase from the market, the fragrance will not last very long and if you get
one with high synthetic content then it might cause irritation as well. Hence,
we suggest you to try essential oils as room diffusers. Essential oils can fill
your room with a natural aroma and the scent can remains for days.

In
this blog we are going to tell you how to diffuse the natural scent of an
essential oil easily and quickly.

1.Diffusion
using a Simple Tissue

Put
3-4 drops of your preferred essential oil on a tissue. Keep this tissue near
you. Any kind of movement in the room will waft the aroma in the air. This
method is quick and easy to apply. Although, it will not diffuse much aroma
into the room but it is a good technique to use when you are in public area and
want to keep yourself away from any stale environmental smell.

2.Diffusion
through Steam

Add
two cups of water in a vessel and add 10-12 drops of any essential oil to that
water. Add fewer drops if you are using a fragrance that is milder such as Cinnamon,
Eucalyptus, Rosemary etc. The steam will boil the oil and make the fragrance
diffuse into the entire room. This is one of the most ideal methods for
diffusion as the fragrance spreads in the entire room. The aroma may not be
that long lasting and some alteration might happen in the scent of the
essential oil.

3.Diffusion
by using a Candle

Light
the wick of a pure soy candle. Burn the candle for about 5 minutes and then
extinguish it. Put 1-2 drops of pure essential oil on the melted wax. The oil
will evaporate and fragrance will diffuse in the entire area. You should be
very careful, while carrying out this diffusion method as essential oils are
highly flammable in nature.

The
above mentioned techniques are some homemade methods to diffuse an enchanting
aroma into the room. You can also use diffusers that are available in the
market such as lamp ring diffusers, terracotta and sandstone diffusers, candle
diffusers, etc. for obtaining better results.
